Hey, they have a new album coming out? It's nice to see someone who came up in the punk rock subculture around here. There aren't many of us, but we had to go somewhere!

EDIT: They were my favorite band for a while...they've fallen in my rankings a bit, but I'll still smile anytime I hear a Rancid song, and I catch myself singing "Gave it Away" under my breath all the time. And just about any song off Let's Go...and the first self-titled...yeah, they left an impression. I try to tell people about Matt Freeman all the time, but they don't wanna hear it.

Rancid is definitely one of my favorite bands as well. But I don't think they fit the lineup too well.

They fit as well as Gogol does...and better than Mastodon does....I think they'd just KILL IT on Which Stage say 5 PM Friday.

Yeah...new record...comes out in June...Mr. Brett's producing....they're recording now...oh and they have a new drummer....

If you like them...did you hear Tim's solo album? Best record of last year.

I had no idea Tim put out a record, but I'll have to check that out. He's such an underrated songwriter. I guess you listened to Greg Gaffin's album? See above for more info, I got (get) impatient.

Yeah...Gregg's record is very cool....Tim's thing was way more reggae than punk...really really really good...he gave it away for free on his my space for months before it came out in stores...then they took it down (his whole page, not just the songs)

Also...Foxboro Hot Tubs....if you like Green Day....um...that's them...songs are on My Space for free.

Screw Rancid! give us Operation Ivy!

They played Op Ivy songs every night on the last tour....first time they've ever done that...

Edit: Op Ivy lyrics were my high school yearbook quote "The position being taken is not to be mistaken for attempted education or righteous accusation. Only a description just an observation of the pitiful conditions of our degeneration."

Ah yes...I knew about The Network (my best friend is a huge Green Day fan), but I like Foxboro Hot Tubs a little better, for sure. People dump on Green Day so much, calling them sellouts, forgetting they had Dry Ice on their first full-length.

Back to the original subject, though. It'd friggin' rock if Rancid got added. People always turn their nose up at the mere mention of Rancid...must be the name...but those people really don't know a whole hell of a lot about what's up with them. Maybe it's because Buju Banton never played Bonnaroo.

Yeah, Rancid's a pretty long shot. I never really hear anything about Buju anyway, but maybe that has more to do with the fact that I live in the South. It's funny how the punk rock discussion completely killed the thread...you people thought you just had to worry about the Metallica fans...don't sleep on the displaced punks!
